Have I mentioned that I love my crock pot? I should give her a name, but I wouldn’t want to upset Nancy, my GPS. I figured since I use my crock pot a lot, that I would post my favorite recipes for Manic Monday- Let’s Go Make Some Noise. I mean Soup.

Preparation:

In large stockpot, heat oil until shimmering. Add garlic and onion and saute until translucent. Stir in potato and carrots and saute for about five minutes. Add bell pepper and saute for another minute. Stir in chicken broth, tomato sauce and basil. Bring to a slow boil. Stir in garbanzo beans and pasta. Bubble for 5 minutes. Stir in green beans and sausages. Simmer another 5 minutes.
